"This new version of Destiny 2 fails across the board. It fails in ways that would never happen if you were creating a game from the ground up; its issues partly a result of crowbarring the old version of the game into this ill-fitting suit." pcgamer.com/games/fps/as-bun…

I committed myself to the new uber-grindy Destiny 2, and it was so much worse than I expected.

One of the benefits of being global EIC is that there's really nobody who can stop me from turning a rant that probably belongs on the Destiny 2 subreddit into an article on a major website.

Bungie is claiming that a bug with one of Destiny 2's exotic weapons is actually a feature, and I'm going to go into excruciating detail about why I think that's wrong. trib.al/VrftkAj

What an absolutely dogshit way to treat the people who helped deliver probably the best expansion in Destiny's history. An expansion that, by all reports, was only as good as it was because those people cared enough to fight for what it needed to be.

When I reviewed The Final Shape, I dropped in this almost as a plea to the studio that hey, maybe it's a really good idea to focus on supporting the ideas of the developers who actually seem to know their shit about what is best for the game. I guess that was too much to ask.

I will add that for this to be the reward for those devs who gave blood, sweat and tears to deliver The Final Shape—a decade-capping expansion that's so good it's in the GotY discussion—is disgusting.

Horrendous. Change should start at the very top. Running that many incubator projects looks deranged from the outside.

While we wait for The Final Shape launch, here's my favourite bit of Destiny 2 lore, from The Witch Queen collector's edition. Book of Sorrows? Nah. Give me the Warlock Vanguard having A Moment.

Honestly the starkest part of this report remains just how out of touch Bungie's upper management seems. Bungie exec: "We just need to win our fans back, they still like us." Bungie fans:

Gutting for the devs who have to deal with this shit, who have put out some great experimental seasons this year only for the game to get tarred by absolute bullshit like the recent Starter Pack fiasco.
